San Jose Sharks

Hockey fans and sports aficionados will feel right at home watching the San Jose Sharks. A member of the Pacific Division of the Western Conference, this national hockey team has quickly become a hometown favorite since its debut in the Bay Area in 1991. Cheer on your favorite players as they hit the ice to host teams like the St. Louis Blues, Vancouver Canucks, and Philadelphia Penguins.

Attendees will enjoy the much-anticipated pre-game ritual. At the beginning of each home game, a 17-foot open shark mouth is lowered from the rafters. Then, as the lights go down, the shark's eyes flash red and fog begins to pour out. The live-cam then pans to the locker room as the goalie leads the team through the tunnel and onto the ice to the tune of Metallica's "Seek & Destroy."

Of course, it wouldn't be a Sharks game without a fitting theme song to accompany the team's power plays. Do "The Chomp" as the Jaws theme song plays overhead. You and the rest of the crew will enjoy a trip to this thrilling arena. Tickets start at just $26 per game for upper goal seats. But, if you're in for the fast-paced action, make sure to settle in for lower level seats along the glass.

There's still time for those looking to snag tickets for the 2013-2014 season. The team will host nearly 20 more home games before the season comes to an end, giving you the perfect excuse to attend any of these heart-stopping match-ups. Between the cold brews, game-day jerseys, and rowdy cheering, sports lovers will feel right at home among the Sharks' home crowd.
